They were free and you didn't care if you looked dorky in a combat zone. ....

Re: Blue Book 6/31st December 1969 Vietnam
I enjoyed looking through the book, saw a few familiar faces. Since I left with the 9th in August, there are no photos of my smiling face in there. I always thought it unfair that the 6/31st had to stay when the rest of us went to Hawaii and had such easy duty there. Although many didn't stay in Ha...

Re: One image cartoons
My great-great grandparents on my Mother's side were Fergusons born in Scotland in early 1800s.
I have pictures of the Ferguson tartan, mostly green and blue.

Does yours have the lever on the left side to change between single shot and magazine fed rounds? I think...

Re: Ammo prices 24 years ago
Me too, I will never shoot up the ammo I already have so not buying any more. Although I did buy a box of

1898 Krag-Jorgensen trap door.
The family of my daughter-in-law has a Springfield Armory 1898 Krag made in 1902. It is a family heirloom and the metal is in very good shape, the wood is a little rough but not awful. Since I am always looking for a project, I offered to clean it up as it hasn't received any attention for ... like...

Re: Ammo prices 24 years ago
I went back and looked at what I was paying about 10 to 12 years ago and prices have basically

Re: Today's top song on Billboard 200
Yup, these Rap-Crap lyrics have been going on for a long time. Charlton Heston famously did this
32 years ago. He later said that Time-Warner would probably never hire him to make a movie again.
